Western Digital error code
I recently replaced an older WD drive . All went well and there are no
problems..but I am trying to analyze what went wrong with the old drive. The machine had been occasionally locking up and the WD quick test failed with error code 0003 I could find no listing of that code on WD's site I did find a 103 code that said "write fault error" Interestingly, the drive passed the long test. Possibly the long test just checked the disk's surface. |

You can command the drive to run a SMART test, via the IDE interface. Testing does not have to be initiated solely with read/write ops from the outside. The drive can actually do stuff on its own, then pop back an error code. HTH, Paul |

Anyway the drive was not reliable and now it's been replaced. It was only an 80 gig drive and I replaced it with a new 160 gig I that had been sitting around for several years. |
